Oilersnation Power Rankings: Leon Draisaitl You Hot B*tch
Apr 4, 2022, 13:30 EDTUpdated: Apr 4, 2022, 13:40 EDT
Hello Nation Citizens! Did you know that the Oilers had four games last week and they won every single one of them?! The boys are on a four-game winning streak and 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and it feels GOOD!
Remember when we were all really concerned about a playoff position a few months ago? Since Jay Woodcroft took over the team, it also seems like he’s taken most of our fears and concerns away (aside from goaltending). It’s been a breath of fresh air to see this Oilers team come together, battle and play as a team.
However, with that being said, this Power Rankings article will be solely dedicated to one player and one player only.
Let’s give it up for Leon Draisaitl, who has been an absolute machine on his quest to winning the Rocket Richard this season. Here are some of the best social reactions to Draisaitl netting his 50th goal of the season against the Anaheim Ducks.
